Georgia Goff

Born and raised in this area, Georgia Goff has long been interested in the power of stories and how we tell them. After being diagnosed with Endometriosis, she developed a deep interest in the world of women’s issues, advocacy, and, most specifically, menstruation. Georgia Goff is a recent graduate from Whitworth University where she received her bachelor’s in history. During the research she conducted in this program, Georgia combined her interests in menstruation and storytelling to highlight the complexities of menstruation through the lenses of faith, economics, politics, technology, and more.

Currently, Georgia is working on her Master’s in Teaching through Whitworth University and hopes to someday become a history professor. When she is not studying, Georgia can oftentimes be found watching movies, spending time with her family and friends, or trying to make up for all of the sleep she lost in college.

What to expect from her talk:

• A brief overview of the history of menstruation from both an American and Global context.
• An emphasis on the further exploration of menstrual-related topics within academia and casual spaces.
• An argument for the de-stigmatization of menstruation.
